GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE #1By Masamune Shirow; Translation by Frederik L. Schodt
March 6, 2035. Motoko Aramaki is a hyper-advanced cyborg, a counter-terrorist
net security expert, heading the investigative department of the giant
multi-national, Poseidon Industrial. Partly transcending the physical world
and existing in a virtual world of networks, Motoko is a fusion of multiple
entities and identities, deploying remotely controlled prosthetic humanoid
surrogates around the globe to solve a series of bizarre incidents. Meanwhile,
Tamaki Tamai, a psychic investigator from the Channeling Agency, has been
commissioned to investigate strange changes in the temporal universe, brought
about by two forces, one represented by the teachings of a professor named
Rahampol, and the other by the complex, evolving Motoko entity. What unfolds
will all be in a day's work...a day that will change everything, forever.
Man-Machine Interface, the long awaited-sequel to Masamune Shirow's groundbreaking
Ghost in the Shell and one of the most highly anticipated comics series
in many years, finally reaches American shores. Featuring 100 pages of
new art and story created since its original publication, most rendered
in dazzling full color with awe-inspiring digital effects on a level never
before seen in the annals of graphic fiction. Shirow has raised the bar
for what can be achieved on the page, page after page!.

AL WILLIAMSON: HIDDEN LANDS TPBy Thomas Yeates, Mark Schultz, and Steve Ringgenberg
Al Williamson stand in rarified air, among the titans of the development
of comics as an art form. Drawing from the tradition of the heyday of book,
advertising, and comic-strip illustration, Williamson brought a command

largely valued speed over skill. As part of an amazing stable of young
artists at E.C. in the 1950's, Williamson helped change the industry forever,
but much of his work of the era has remained hidden. Al Williamson: Hidden
Lands at last uncovers these gems, stories from his days at Atlas, E.C.,
Charlton, Harvey, Dell, and more - most of which have never been reprinted
until now, plus a wide array of material that has never before been published,
including fascinating sketches and works from his career's infancy and
photos from the artist's personal scrapbooks. Covered in fascinating depth
bby Mark Schultz, Thomas Yeates, and Steve Ringgenberg and gathered extensive,
lively interviews with Williamson. Al Williamson: Hidden Lands is an essential
